There are at least 50 toxins approved by packaging officials in America and Europe, some of which boost Estrogen and/or block the production of Testosterone.
Drinking from a plastic bottle of any kind can increase risk of breast cancer in women, be harmful to infants drinking from baby bottles and affect their brain development, behavior and prostate gland function.
PVC is the most poisonous plastic in food packaging. PVC is made using Chlorine which is a poison and Lead which is a heavy metal that damages nerve endings and releases poison into your blood stream. When PVC is in the packaging your food is in (eg. candy bar wrappers, cling wrap) it is slowly leaking dioxins into your food.
GLASS:
Glass is a substance formed by cooling molten substances but not to the point where it crystallizes them.
Glass is a good container for food as it is odorless, reusable, suitable for microwaves, does not rust, preserves food and is impermeable.
Although glass is not as portable as plastic or aluminum as it breaks quite easily, it is still quite better for for packaging as it does not let toxins in to the food product.
ALUMINUM:
Aluminum is a useful house hold tool in the form aluminum foil, if it's used properly it isn't dangerous but some people abuse it's usefulness.
Aluminum by itself is toxic and poisonous to the human body
Stainless Steel:
Stainless Steel does not leach any toxins at all into your food or drink. It makes a great container as it is safe and portable and will not break easily.
The best containers in my opinion are glass and stainless steel, as they keep your food/drink fresh, toxin free and how you like it :)
